Sort by RATING	Sort by ADD DATE (default)	Sort by TITLE \| YEAR	Sort by T-METER
B+	" Ritchie concocts a crime-jungle demimonde that's organically linked to the real world, and it's a damn fun one to visit." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Oct 8, 2008	RocknRolla (2008)	56%
D+	" Working from a screenplay by William Monahan, Scott takes rusty '80s clich�s from the days when we were playing nuclear chicken with Russia and retrofits them to the post-9/11 world. He exposes how weary those old spy tropes really are." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Oct 8, 2008	Body of Lies (2008)	52%
A	" Demme's finest work since The Silence of the Lambs, and a movie that tingles with life." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Oct 1, 2008	Rachel Getting Married (2008)	85%
A-	" As the movie comes into focus, you feel the lives of the characters echoing backward through time." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Oct 1, 2008	Ballast (2008)	76%
A-	" It's a film that's destined to make a lot of people mad, but Maher, for all his showy atheistic 'doubt,' isn't just trying to crucify religion -- he truly wants to know what makes it tick. He leaves no stone tablet unturned." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Oct 1, 2008	Religulous (2008)	68%
D	" You could say Beverly Hills Chihuahua is Lady and the Tramp meets Viva Zapata!, but seriously, I've seen zestier attitude in a Purina commercial." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Oct 1, 2008	Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008)	42%
D	" Moore�s studentmobilization drive now looks prescient, but he should have kept this piece of wallpaper agitprop on the shelf." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Sep 24, 2008	Slacker Uprising (2008)	27%
A-	" It sounds like a bad TV movie, yet Stuart Townsend, the veteran actor-turned-director re-creates it all with stunning passion and skill in Battle in Seattle." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Sep 24, 2008	Battle in Seattle (2008)	55%
B+	" It�s an indelibly warped cartoon of lust and despair." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Sep 24, 2008	Choke (2008)	56%
B-	" The Lucky Ones isn't dull, and the actors do quite nicely, especially McAdams, who's feisty, gorgeous, and as mercurial as a mood ring." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Sep 24, 2008	The Lucky Ones (2008)	33%
C-	" Miracle at St. Anna wants to do too many things at once to do any of them with much verve. It aspires to be a war epic, but it's dominated less by combat than by flat, meandering talk." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Sep 24, 2008	Miracle at St. Anna (2008)	32%
C-	" Even the title is a letdown, somehow." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Sep 17, 2008	Wild at Heart (1990)	65%
D	" *It's not much fun to see these two reduced to Mad TV* parodies of themselves. In the right movie, they'd stop coasting on their legends long enough to remind us how they became them.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Sep 17, 2008	Righteous Kill (2008)	22%
B+	" *If you want to hear juicy inside tales of the scams devised by Lee Atwater, the right-wing visionary of media-age dirty tricks, you'll find loads of them in Boogie Man." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Sep 17, 2008	Boogie Man: The Lee Atwater Story (2008)	91%
B-	" Appaloosa is a pleasingly spacious piece of work, but for all of its little tangles it never musters the kick of a psychological duel." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Sep 17, 2008	Appaloosa (2008)	75%
B-	" *As it becomes clear that Ball, in essence, has just restaged American Beauty* with a socially conscious paint job, the sensationalism of Towelhead looks more and more like a dramatic tic.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Sep 10, 2008	Towelhead (2008)	49%
C	" The Women is such an arduous patchwork of 'issues' it ends up a Frankenstein's monster of a chick flick." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Sep 10, 2008	The Women (2008)	10%
F	" [Cage takes] the big bucks to star in slovenly, inert pulp of the sort no actor of his magnitude should be stooping to." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Sep 8, 2008	Bangkok Dangerous (2008)	10%
B	" Even those of us who find anti-homosexual 'deprogramming' to be hideously intolerant and naive may find ourselves oddly relieved that Mark is there." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Sep 5, 2008	Save Me (2007)	71%
C-	" *Friendly yet toothless, College* musters little energy even as anarchic-party-movie nostalgia.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Sep 2, 2008	College (2008)	7%
C+	" *Since many of the targets (Cloverfield, Hancock, Kung Fu Panda) already have a cheeky self-consciousness, the comedy rarely seems more than a hasty patchwork of cheap-shot allusions." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Sep 2, 2008	Disaster Movie (2008)	2%
C+	" The director, Alexandre Aja, knows how to reflect the fear in people's heads, but he gets too ensnared in a backstory that's just gothic business as usual." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 28, 2008	Mirrors (2008)	13%
A	" A sharp, absorbing portrait of our national debt crisis." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 28, 2008	I.O.U.S.A. (2008)	87%
A	" *Azazel Jacobs, the writer-director of Momma's Man, has done more than make another precious indie family quirkfest; he's created a true vision." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Aug 28, 2008	Momma's Man (2008)	96%
B+	" A high school musical that would make John Waters proud." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 28, 2008	Hamlet 2 (2008)	63%
C-	" *The only brazen thing about the film is how shamelessly it rips off School of Rock." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Rocker (2008)	36%
B-	" *The 3-D animation work in Fly Me to The Moon* is brisk and sweet.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Aug 15, 2008	Fly Me To The Moon (2008)	17%
C	" Gooey, ponderous, and maudlin. It's less a tale of religious rebirth than a faith-based Hallmark card." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 15, 2008	Henry Poole Is Here (2008)	36%
F	" George Lucas is turning into the enemy of fun." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 15, 2008	The Clone Wars (2008)	19%
B+	" *Turns into an Internet Age version of Before Sunrise." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Aug 11, 2008	In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)	85%
B-	" West does an earnest job, but that's the problem: He never conjures Crash's psychotic danger. Neither does this eager, flawed, scrappy biopic." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 11, 2008	What We Do Is Secret (2008)	46%
D	" It's a claustrophobic dud, full of ludicrously purple tough-guy dialogue and lip-smacking vamps in bikinis (how hot!), with so much monotonous hip violence there's scarcely room for anything else." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 11, 2008	Hell Ride (2008)	11%
D+	" *The politics of making wine is a great subject for a movie, but this clunker doesn't do it justice; Bottle Shock* is broad and coy where it needs to be smart.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Aug 11, 2008	Bottle Shock (2008)	45%
A	" Director Isabel Coixet sees David's tragedy, but also his life force, and she draws brilliant work out of Cruz." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 11, 2008	Elegy (2008)	74%
B	" It's fascinating to see the process by which skateboarding, in all its concrete grittiness, was transformed into a mainstream activity of consumer cool." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 6, 2008	Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator (2003)	79%
B	" Pineapple Express is a fitfully amusing tale of drugs and crooks and general dilapidation, but the more it goes on, and the loopier it gets, the less it connects with experience. It becomes Apatow's hash-bar version of a cynical action joyride." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 6, 2008	Pineapple Express (2008)	68%
A-	" The climactic game, in which Roy, in a way that defies prediction, attempts to sink the shot of his life, is the most rousing sequence of the year, a celebration of what it really means to win." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Aug 5, 2008	Tin Cup (1996)	69%
A-	" In Frozen River, [Melissa] Leo's acting has a brittle severity and power. Every moment of her performance feels torn from experience, and so does the movie, which finds a suspense in broken lives that are hanging in the balance." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 31, 2008	Frozen River (2008)	86%
C	" *Fraser, who at 39 looks perhaps five years older than this kid, needed a wholesome offspring-sidekick like a third arm. Then again, it's not clear that the world needed a third Mummy* movie.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Jul 31, 2008	The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008)	13%
B	" Brideshead Revisited is opulent and watchable, yet except for Thompson's acting, it's missing something -- a grander, more ambivalent vision of the England it depicts dying out." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 24, 2008	Brideshead Revisited (2008)	63%
B	" Step Brothers is hit-and-miss, but it made me wish that the usual American comedy of 'how stupid can we get?' had this much rage." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 24, 2008	Step Brothers (2008)	55%
A-	" A ghostly and startling tale of Native Americans in Los Angeles -- a fusion of documentary and fiction -- in the late '50s. Never previously released, it's a revelation." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 21, 2008	The Exiles (1961)	91%
B-	" This luminously shot concert movie reveals that Berlin is far from the lost masterpiece the movie wants it to be." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 17, 2008	Lou Reed's Berlin (2008)	76%
C+	" *I won't really defend Mamma Mia!, but I will recommend how to watch it: Just stop rolling your eyes and listen." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Jul 17, 2008	Mamma Mia! (2008)	53%
A-	" *Anyone who thinks that Josh Hartnett isn't a true movie star should see his riveting, high-wire performance in August, a shrewdly dramatized look back at the bursting of the dot-com bubble." -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Jul 16, 2008	August (2008)	35%
A-	" In this, the last performance he completed before his death, Ledger had a maniacal gusto inspired enough to suggest that he might have lived to be as audacious an actor as Marlon Brando, and maybe as great." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 14, 2008	The Dark Knight (2008)	95%
B-	" Wandering around the earth's stalactite-dripped core exerts a primal appeal even in a dumb kiddie joyride like this one." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 9, 2008	Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)	62%
B+	" To make a comic-book fantasy this derivative yet this dazzling requires more than technique. It takes a director in touch with his inner hellboy." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 9, 2008	Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)	88%
C+	" *Adapted from the 2003 Monica Ali novel, Brick Lane* is one of those feminist cries in the dark in which the heroine, a saintly sufferer, is more admirable than interesting.*" -- Entertainment Weekly* Posted Jul 3, 2008	Brick Lane (2008)	65%
A-	" Gonzo, the documentary by Alex Gibney, taps the full fascination of its subject: Dr. Hunter S. Thompson." -- Entertainment Weekly Posted Jul 3, 2008	Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)	89%
